OPOL: "We need drastic, radical change"

if you don't follow one pissed off liberal's diaries at kos, you should...

It is my view that we need drastic, radical change. A lot of people are afraid of that word (among others). We had a related word back in the 60s – radicalized. It meant that something had happened to convert you from your moderation and transformed you into one who accepts the wisdom that radical problems require radical solutions. Whether it was the war, the assassination of someone you cared about or were in sympathy with, or if it were a personal experience with being brutally oppressed – the impact could be most powerful, profound even, and it happened to a lot of people.

If George W. Bush, the neocons and their viciously stupid actions have not radicalized you by now, then all I can say is that you must not have been paying attention.

We desperately need massive, fundamental and yes, radical change. No more band-aids on bullet wounds and no more pretense of change masking a continued commitment to the status quo. No more two-faced, sell-out, backstabbing politicians lining their own pockets at our expense. We need to get real serious real fast or we’re going to run out of time.

In conclusion, it’s time for a revolution in this country. I don’t mean a violent revolution, but I do mean a forceful one. We need to take our country back from the thieves, thugs and backstabbers who have taken it away from us. We need to demand action to stop the impending attack on Iran, and we need to demand strong and decisive action to save the planet from global warming – and we need to stop taking NO for an answer!

the number one priority in the u.s. is getting rid of george bush and his criminal band...
